Striving to Enrich the Environment
The conservation of natural environments around our Thai plants is another critical initiative. Consideration for the environment when executing our manufacturing activities is fundamental to our business. In addition, we also take active measures to improve the natural environment around our plants.
One area in which we are particularly active is mangrove reforestation. We have carried out reforestation projects in Koh Nok Park, along the Bang Pakong River, Chachoengsao Province to the east of Bangkok. With its name meaning "bird island" in Thai, the park is home to the stork and many other species and plays an important role in supporting the surrounding ecosystem. To conserve the park's environment, Minebea Thai employees volunteered to plant 400 mangroves in December 2013. The employees are monitoring the mangroves' growth in cooperation with the park rangers. In March 2014, Minebea Thai donated 50 pairs of boots for forestry work to the park management organization and employees release crabs into the park to help preserve biodiversity.
